stars of the silver screen are getting ready for the baftas later tonight. we'll look at which films might take home the awards. good morning. we are looking at a brighter day, with a few more cloudbreak surround, so some sunny spells developing for many. probably quite a nice sunrise for some of you. in scotland we have to get cloud with rain on the way and here it is going to turn progressively windier, with severe gales on the way, tonight across the north. more on but a bit later on. it's sunday, the 19th of february. our main story: the british medical association says the government is "standing on the precipice of a historic mistake" by failing to stop strike action in the nhs. 16,000 junior doctors in england are being balloted over industrial action. that vote closes tomorrow, when a large number of ambulance
6:02 am
workers in england and wales will also walk out. vincent mcaviney has the latest. escalating strikes across the nhs. ambulance workers in england, wales and northern ireland are set to go on strike across four days this week, with nurses in england set to walk out for three days the following week. now the bma, the union which represents junior doctors, has warned the prime minister if his government refuses to enter meaningful pay negotiations, they are guaranteeing further industrial action. 16,000 junior doctors have been balloted on strikes, with the results are to be announced on monday. at a conference in bristol today, professor philip banfield, the chair of the bma, will accuse rishi sunak of being thoughtless in his refusal to find a workable agreement with nhs staff over pay and conditions. and that mr seneca and the health secretary, stephen barclay, are standing on the
6:03 am
precipice of an historic mistake. —— mr sunak. despite months of strikes across the nhs and pay rises being offered by the welsh and scottish government is currently under consideration by unions, the prime minister has been steadfast in refusing to budge on entering pay negotiations. in england. a spokesperson for the department of health said stephen barclay has met with the bma and other medical unions to discuss pay conditions and workload. the department spokesperson also says: ifjunior doctors do vote to join other colleagues on the picket lines, these strikes, which have already been the biggest in the history of the nhs, could push the health service to the brink of co—ordinated on the same days. prime minister rishi sunak has urged
6:04 am
world leaders to "double down" on military support for ukraine. speaking at a security conference in munich, as the first anniversary of russia's invasion approaches, mr sunak said it was a "global war" in which the security of every nation is at stake. with more details, here's our diplomatic correspondent james landale. this is a conference like few others — a chance for western allies, yes, to put on a show of unity, but also a chance to reaffirm their support for ukraine and demonstrate their resolve to stay the course. so today the prime minister urged allies to double down on their support for ukraine, and called for a new nato charter to ensure its long—term security, but he also said this... what's at stake in this war is even greater than the security and sovereignty of one nation. it's about the security and sovereignty of every nation. because russia's invasion, its abhorrent war crimes and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric,
6:05 am
are symptomatic of a broader threat to everything we believe in. that argument was echoed by america's vice president, who said no country would be safe if russia could violate territorial integrity. and as for the torture and rape she said its forces had committed... we know the legal standards and there is no doubt these are crimes against humanity. in other words, this is about more than ukraine — an argument yet to be accepted by some leaders in africa and asia who say it is damaging their economies, and they want peace fast. we suffer disruption of supply chains, increasing prices, recession of the economy. this money by russia in the west that is used to buy weapons,
6:06 am
to enable russia and ukraine to kill one another, could be better utilised to promote development. it's opinions like that that is concentrating minds here, with western policymakers realising that even after almost a year of war, they have still yet to convince some countries that it's right to arm and defend ukraine. so this war is being fought on the snowy plains of eastern ukraine, but there is a diplomatic battle, too, and the west is realising it has work to do. james landale, bbc news, munich. the former prime minister has uged his successor not to abandon a proposed law that would allow him to ditch post—brexit trading agreements with northern ireland. rishi sunak is trying to strike a deal with european leaders over alternative rules that would replace the northern ireland protocol bill, but a souce close to mrjohnson said he believes dropping the legislation would be "a great mistake."
6:07 am
authorities in turkey have said they will wind down their efforts to find and rescue survivors of the earthquake from tonight. it comes nearly two weeks after the quake struck turkey and syria, killing at least 16,000 people, with many yet to be accounted for, and destroying more than 350,000 homes. coach passengers returning to the uk from france have endured queues of more than six hours at border checkpoints in calais. many of the coaches were carrying school children and teachers coming home from half—term trips. border force staff in calais, dunkirk and dover are currently staging a four—day strike over pay. the home office said it was working to minimise delays. scotland's health secretary, humza yousaf, has confirmed that he's standing to replace nicola sturgeon as snp leader and the country's first minister. he made the announcement in the scottish sunday mail newspaper. ash regan, who quit the scottish
6:08 am

proponent from the royal opera house, will play a large part in the event. a coronation anthem is being composed by andrew lloyd webber, and patrick doyle, who has provided music for films like harry potter and the goblet of fire, bridget jones' diary, and thor, will create a coronation march. singers at the event will include the opera start bryn turtle and pretty young day. there will also be a tribute to the king's father, with a greek orthodox ensemble reflecting the heritage of prince philip. so that is the music sorted. what about the guest list? royalty and leaders from around the world will fill the pews at westminster abbey. we still don't know if vince harry will be among them. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. —— prince harry. the uk's most prestigious film awards ceremony, the baftas, is taking place tonight, and for the first time it

6:14 am
scotland, we've got patches of frost. watch out for a few icy stretches for a time this morning. ultimately it is going to be turning milder, as this zone of rain starts to work its way in. rain heavy and persistent across north—west scotland, and through the day winds will be picking up here. further south i think there is a better chance of seeing some good tears, good breaks in the cloud. we will be seeing brighter and sunnier spells compared to yesterday. 0vernight tonight, i think it gets very windy once again for the of scotland, where gusts �*s can reach 60 or 70 miles an hour. these are potentially strong enough gusts to bring localised disruption, the strongest winds probably going through 0rkney and shetland as well. away from those very strong winds it will be quite a breezy night elsewhere, with the cloud thickening, patches of light rain and drizzle across patches of western england, because of the cloud and strong winds it is a very mild night and temperatures are staying into double figures for many. 0n are staying into double figures for many. on monday we have got our
6:15 am
weather fronts stretched across scotland, bringing outbreaks of rain here. to the north of the weather front, slightly cooler hour. that is across the 0rkney shipment area, and going into parts of the highlands as well. to the south, the winds coming from a south—westerly direction, so lots of and spots of morning drizzle. the afternoon drier and brighter with a bit of sunshine. but these temperatures are pretty exceptional for february. these temperatures are pretty exceptionalfor february. 16 these temperatures are pretty exceptional for february. 16 celsius in norwich, that is about eight celsius above average. we willjust push those february average temperatures that bit higher. it is already looking like being a mild month indeed. more of the same for tuesday, again, south—westerly winds bringing extensive cloud and another mild day, with temperatures widely 12- 13- 14 mild day, with temperatures widely 12— 13— 1a celsius. we do see a change in weather patterns as we had three into wednesday. we will get a weather front living across the country, bringing a spell of rain, air following. country, bringing a spell of rain, airfollowing. those country, bringing a spell of rain, air following. those temperatures will be dropping closer to average from wednesday onwards, but i think
6:16 am
with that, again, they will probably be a bit more in the way of sunny spells breaking through the cloud towards the end of the week stop so today, i think the most of us it will be a brighter day but only wet and windy across scotland, especially later on. back to you. irate especially later on. back to you. we look especially later on. back to you. - look forward to the sunny spells later in the week. thank you. approaches, we're taking a look this morning at the different ways in which the uk has offered support. later on we'll find out more about how £400 million donated by the british public has been spent. first, phil connell has been to see how uk troops have been helping to turn ordinary ukrainian citizens into trained soldiers. itwar taking place almost 2000 miles from here. but for many ukrainian soldiers it's here in yorkshire whether military training begins.

6:21 am
of last summer. it's england's first overseas win in a pink ball match. the second and final test of the series is in wellington starting on thursday night uk time. england women's captain heather knight says she "feels like things are building nicely" after a significant win over india at the t20 world cup. it was their biggest test so far and it showed, with england losing four early wickets before a half—century from nat sciver—bru nt. they rallied after that though, winning by 11 runs — clinching top spot in their group. england only have pakistan left to play in the group stages and, importantly, will avoid reigning champions australia in the semi—finals if they stay top. there was a minute's applause before kick off between newcastle united and liverpool in tribute to the former newcastle striker christian atsu, who was amongst those killed in the earthquake in turkey this month.
6:22 am
with atsu's picture on the big screen, fans of both sides paid tribute before the game got under way. atsu's family were in the crowd for the game at stjames' park with both sets of players paying their respects. as for the game, liverpool were 2—0 winners. cody gakpo with the second afterjust 17 minutes, as liverpool boosted their top four hopes. nick pope also sent off for newcastle in the first—half, after handling the ball outside of his area, he'll miss next sunday's league cup final against manchester united. i have seen him. he looks visibly upset. i think he has been outstanding for us this season. technically was it a handbill? probably. they don't know the rules on red card's outside the box for me. it was a harsh reaction to what happened. if the rules are in place,
6:23 am
i feel to title rivals manchester city, arsenal went behind twice at villa in the first half — tom hanks, there he is — couldn't quite believe ollie watkins made things look that easy after five minutes. but at 2—2 in injury time, arsenal scored twice to move back to the top of the table, jorginho's strike hitting emi martinez on its way, before gabriel martinelli added a fourth. and that win all the more sweet for arsenal as the champions manchester city dropped points at nottingham forest. city went ahead thanks to a goal from bernardo silva. they had plenty of chances. erling haaland hitting the bar among them. they were still looking good for the win until chris wood scored forest's equaliser on the break, with less than ten minutes to go. city losing valuable points in the title race, with arsenal two points ahead
6:24 am
of them and with a game in hand. we did a really, really good game except the goal that we defend without commitment, el central defenders. but it was a really, really good game, so we did everything pretty perfect. we had amazing chances. we couldn't believe it. it is football. we had to school. we didn't do it and that is why we dropped. chelsea manager graham potter says he "understands the supporter�*s frustrations" after they were booed off in a 1—0 home defeat to bottom—side southampton. james ward—prowse scored the goal — the 17th time he's scored from a direct free kick, just one behind david beckham's premier league record. chelsea are 10th in the league, having won just two of their last 14 games, adding more pressure on potter.
6:25 am
i always come in and speak to you guys, they understand the questions. and i'm not going to, when we have lost one at home to southampton, with the greatest respect to them, it isn't good enough because of the results we have had recently. absolutely. first off, the performance wasn't good. sean dyche made it back—to—back home wins as everton manager, as his side beat leeds united by 1—0 at goodison park. seamus coleman proved to be the unlikely hero, with his second half strike creeping in at the near post. if the premier league title race is twisting and turning, the scottish premiership is showing no signs of that. celtic retain their nine—point lead over rangers, after a 4—0 win over aberdeen. the star of the show was reo hatate, the japanese midfielder scoring twice as they ran out comfortable winners at celtic park. it's their 15th straight home league win and sets them up perfectly for next weekends league cup final.
6:26 am
next weekend's league cup final. where they'll meet their old firm rivals rangers, who also ran out easy 3—0 winners at livingstone. james tavernier scoring twice, including this brilliant free kick. in the pinatar cup, scotland's women bounced back from their opening defeat to iceland to win 2—1 against the philippines. lauren davidson put them ahead before rachel corsie doubled that lead in the second half. the philippines did pull one back, but it was just a consolation. elsewhere, wales and iceland played out a goal less draw. second—placed sale sharks were beaten in a thriller by northampton saints in rugby's gallagher premiership. sale had a big lead despite having a man sent off but their lack of numbers eventually told — fraser dingwall scoring the deciding try just three minutes from time. 38—34 the final score. the gymnast max whitlock is back
6:27 am
after taking some time away from the sport following the tokyo olympics. he won gold at the games, but said a fear of failure crept in afterwards, leading to his break from international competitions. max has been speaking to tom williams about his return. when expectancy is plant on top of pressure that is quite difficult. i just obtained my olympic gold and a should have been over the moon, which was, of course, with the result, but then all of a sudden things started to creep in. i started to fear failure. failure, not a word _ started to fear failure. failure, not a word often _ started to fear failure. failure, not a word often associated i started to fear failure. failure, i not a word often associated with britain's greatest gymnast. being the best for the best part of a decade weighed heavy on his shoulder. ~ , ., ., �* decade weighed heavy on his shoulder. ~ ., �* , ., shoulder. when you don't perform, there is something _ shoulder. when you don't perform, there is something slightly - shoulder. when you don't perform, there is something slightly wrong, | there is something slightly wrong, you get a silver rather than gold, to be seen as a value for that is quite difficult. and i think, you know, a lot of athletes say that you

about we talk about max whitlock advergames last year, he said he had to miss because of that fear of failure. we are used to, as we were watching, sportsmen and women being much more open about their mental health. just assume someone like max whitlock, three—time olympic champion, chilly has figured it out. but, really honest to say he had to step back, reset, he said he had a complete reset and now he is looking forward to the paris olympics. there was talk of retirement, 30 years old is a genus, it is an eight you could easily step away from the sport, but he is hungry again, he has more to give, he was to be the first german—us to win four successive gold medals, successive games on the same piece of apparatus. and you wouldn't put it past him. we really seems got his mindset back. it is really impressive _ seems got his mindset back. it 3 really impressive to be that brave to say don't you step away, because seeing him there on the bar and on the beam, you literally cannot get it a second out if your mind is not

6:35 am
it's amazing. i mean, she's such a little character — and for her to receive this treatment is just an absolute blessing. they're literally walking, running miracles, you know? they shouldn't be here. i'm fergus walsh, the bbc�*s medical editor. i've been following the first patient treated by the nhs with this life—saving drug, and meeting families affected by one of the rarest and cruellest of genetic conditions. # nala, charlie, nala, charlie shaw... this is the shaw family, from northumberland. mum and dad, ally and jake, and their two daughters, nala and teddi. i've always said nala saved teddi's life. and that's how i've wanted to think about it.
6:36 am
whee! the family are living under the shadow of a devastating disease — a rare life—limiting genetic disorder called mld — which is already taking a toll on nala. days out like this are one way the family are building happy memories with their girls. and there's one sure way to please any toddler. more cake? yes, more cake! nala was once just as lively and active as her younger sister. she was such a cheeky little character. she was always, like, kind of, singing, dancing, spinning around everywhere, always laughing. she was just a cheeky little girl.
6:37 am
very theatrical, wasn't she? everything was all... every morning, i would do a little instagram video. yay! and everybody would message and just say how she brightens their day, makes their day, because she was just so funny. she was just a completely normal toddler. but by then, she had started showing signs — her walking had got uneven, she had started falling over more often, and the tremor had also started. these were the first signs that something was wrong. i was convinced she had a brain tumour, and everyone was telling me i was being stupid. and then, yeah, she went out for the mri — and within about 45 minutes, the doctor had come back off. so when she said "it's not a brain tumour," i was doing cartwheels almost, i was so excited. and then, when she said,
6:38 am
metachromatic leukodystrophy, obviously no one's ever heard of that. and as soon as she left, jake googled it — and i could tell by his face that it wasn't good news. you see the water? metachromatic leukodystrophy — mld — is a single—gene disorder. both jake and ally are carriers of the faulty gene, but are unaffected. each child they have has a one—in—four risk of inheriting both copies of the faulty gene, and so having the condition. wow, wow! tests showed that, like nala, teddi has mld. i thought to myself, it was like, "it can't happen again, "with a one—in—four chance, we can't be that unlucky. "we've been unlucky enough for it to happen the first time." but when we found out, it was just, again, just heartbreaking. around one in 100 of us carries the faulty gene for mld. but both parents have to pass
6:39 am
on that gene for a child to have the condition, which makes it rare. it affects around one in 40,000 babies in the uk. if you've never heard of mld, you're lucky. babies with the condition are born apparently healthy — but over time, it strips the protective layer from nerve cells, causing progressive damage to the brain and other vital organs. patients gradually lose the ability to move, talk, swallow, and see. britain's biggest children's hospital is in manchester. it is a specialist treatment centre for mld and other rare genetic diseases. i've been looking after children with mld for 17 years now, and watching many children pass away because of this untreatable, incurable, and very
6:40 am
life—limiting disease. so how does a single faulty gene cause so much damage in children with mld? so there's mistakes in a gene, which means the body can't make an enzyme. the job of that enzyme is to break down a really important chemical for how our brain functions and works. and so, it gradually builds up and builds up in the brain until this catastrophic point, usually by the age of two, where children start to lose, as i said, all of those abilities. but now, there's a treatment for children with mld — a form of gene therapy called libmeldy. it's a medicine which can help one of the shaws' daughters, but not both. so when they told us that there was treatment available for teddi, it was, kind of, like, a bitter pill to swallow
6:41 am
because nala can't be helped. so, you know, we're extremely grateful, in one sense, and really sad on the other side, so... i can't really imagine what it is like for families to have to receive news that one of their children has an incurable disease — and the other child is also affected, but we can offer a treatment for that child. it's june 2022. teddi will be the first patient to receive libmeldy on the nhs. she can be helped because, unlike nala, mld was picked up before irreparable damage was done. she's taken it in her stride. she obviously hasn't been great when getting all of the needles and things in her. but to be fair, she's actually dealing with it quite well. hold on...
6:42 am
it's a personalised treatment. teddi's blood is being filtered to collect stem cells. these will have a working copy of the faulty gene added to try to stop the disease doing further damage. if she understood, then she might cope with it a bit better. but she just keeps looking at people saying, "why are you doing it?" i feel like she's looking at me going, "mum, why "are you doing this to me?" all done! all done for today. hopefully got them all. and here are teddi's stem cells. the first stage of her treatmentjourney is over. so this box, which contains the bag of stem cells collected this morning from teddi, is going now to italy. scientists in milan will insert the missing gene. it's the only place in europe
6:43 am
where this lab work is done. it'll be a few weeks before teddi is back in manchester to receive her modified cells — the personalised treatment called libmeldy. so these cells have a natural ability to traffic or migrate i across the blood brain barrier. libmeldy was developed by a british company, orchard therapeutics. | by putting a gene into those cells, | you've got an opportunity to deliver that gene to the brain. their ceo has combined a career in research with treating children with rare disorders. bringing a new medicine to the world that can potentially cure these - devastating diseases is incredibly satisfying and rewarding. - getting to this point has taken a long time. well, i think it's been - a journey of nearly 20 years. so this started off as experimental studies back in the early 2000s. i | i think the first study to showj
6:44 am
that it could correct an animal model was published in 2004. and then, went to treat i the first patients in 2010. so we got approval in december 2020 in the eu, and now it's— available on the nhs. so it's a very long journey, to be able to develop i a medicine like this. coming out of the deep freeze... ..this is libmeldy. it's been cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for the journey from milan to manchester. teddi's gene—altered cells are gently brought to body temperature, ready to be infused. you've got such strong grip, young lady! the waiting is nearly over.
6:45 am
nearby, in her room, teddi has chosen today to attempt her first steps. this is all day, i'll be doing this, is it? pretty much. if you can just stay so i can have a break, that would be lovely. the contents of this bag cost more than £2.8 million. that's the list price of libmeldy, the most expensive drug ever approved for the nhs — although a confidential discount has been agreed. so how is teddi doing? because she's had some really pretty strong treatment in the last few days, hasn't she? teddi has had chemotherapy in order to kill off the remaining faulty cells in her bone marrow, which will be repopulated with her personalised gene therapy. she's doing absolutely fine. she's not even been fazed one bit so far. obviously, i know that's probably the worst bit to come. but considering what she's been through in a week — she's no different, are you?
6:46 am
you're stilljust your mischievous, normal little self. and this is the moment. this one—off infusion should, if all goes well, stop teddi's mld in its tracks. teddi will need to spend several more weeks in hospital while her gene—altered cells make their way to her bone marrow and start to produce the crucial missing enzyme that causes her condition. to find out how effective libmeldy is, i went to meet another family in norfolk, whose children were treated in italy, where the clinical trials took place. hey, felix, go!
6:47 am
they're literally walking, running miracles. you know, hey shouldn't be here. oscar and felix are living proof that libmeldy works. you know, they're in mainstream school. they're keeping up with their peers. you know, they do their football club, they do their gymnastics. the twins were treated in milan when they were less than a year old — now they're seven. what are your hopes for the boys? that they'll continue to carry on thriving like they are, and live happy, normal lives. we can't call it a cure yet, because we're not that far enough down the line to call it that. but it is, because the boys shouldn't be here — and they are. so in my eyes, it has cured them, it's given them the life that they wouldn't have had otherwise. i'll hold the bread up. you can't hold the bread while i butter it. leah was pregnant with oscar and felix when she found out
6:48 am
that her eldest child, paige, had mld. right, sit down on your bottoms. while it meant the twins could be helped, because their condition was identified soon after birth, page's disease was too far advanced for her to be treated. paige died in 2017, aged five. she was cheeky...yeah. and her spirit stayed with her, despite herfailing health? yeah, yeah, she was cheeky till the end. it was probably one of the harshest moments throughout paige's life, to be fair. when we got told she has mld, like, "what can we do about it?"
6:49 am
"there's nothing you can do. "you've just got to make her as comfortable as possible." and that was the hardest thing to take. and how do you remember her? 0h, we always celebrate her birthday. just myself and leah have a quiet day ourselves. and every birthday, we always release a balloon for her, and we always remember her. what was she like? 0h...erm... tearfully: yeah, she was amazing. it's november 2022 — three months since teddi received libmeldy.
6:50 am
the last time we saw ally and her daughter, teddi, they were still in hospital in manchester. now they're back home here in northumberland. so i'm looking forward to seeing how teddi's getting on. hi, nollie, that was cute! teddi, at 16 months old, is clearly going from strength to strength. she's the first patient to have libmeldy on the nhs. i mean, it's amazing. i mean, she's such a little character — and for her to receive this treatment is just an absolute blessing. this little piggy went to market... but for three—year—old nala, mld is progressing rapidly. whee, all the way home! since being diagnosed in april 2022, she has lost the ability to walk and talk, and is now tube—fed.
6:51 am
i mean, from her being such a happy child that can do anything that she wanted to do, to not be able to do anything for herself any more, it's just absolutely heartbreaking to watch. you feel like you're grieving from the very start because your child's disappearing almost in front of your eyes. if she was born like that, then from the day she was born, we would've known what we were dealing with. but the fact that we had just a normal toddler, and then, all of a sudden, our worlds have been turned upside down with a terminal diagnosis that'sjust, you know — you don't really know what to say or what to think, really. her body is basically, kind of, gradually shutting down. and she will lose her eyesight, she will lose most of her senses. so, it will basically come to a point where there's nothing left for her to lose. # and i won't let you go,
6:52 am
but i will let you down easy. # i will hold your hand. # and i will kiss you goodnight as i put you to bed... jake has recorded a song for nala, which he hopes will raise awareness and money. # and i will kiss you goodnight as i turn out the light... so i wrote it originallyjust to, kind of, help me deal with the situation, help me deal with my feelings. i wrote it, and i sent it to my friend after a few beers one night. and he says, "right, we're recording it." so i wanted to donate all the proceeds of the track to the mld support association uk, which helps a lot of families with children with this disease. it's just the most horrific disease. it's like, i hope that nobody ever has to hear them through letters —
6:53 am
because if they do then, you know, means their lives changed like ours has. and it'sjust so cruel. we're on the cusp of a revolution in the treatment of genetic disorders. it's hard to believe, but 12—year—old joe was born with mld. he was one of the first children in europe to be treated with libmeldy, as part of a clinical trial in italy way back in 2014. it's given him his life back. he has such a good life. he makes the most of every moment. joe is completely healthy. his faulty gene looks to have been fixed permanently.
6:54 am
we're grateful for the life thatjoe's been given. i and he's grateful — i he makes the most of absolutely every opportunity. literally every opportunity that comes his way, - he grabs and enjoys his life to the nth degree. - but personalised treatments like this cost a small fortune. when libmeldy was approved, it was the world's most expensive medicine. at more than £2.8 million, it's still the second—costliest drug — surpassed only by a similar gene therapy approved in the us in late 2022. i mean, this truly is a breakthrough. we have had almost nothing to offer families with this condition for decades. instead of many years of terrible neurodegenerative disease, we have the potential for a full life lived healthily. and so, it's very difficult
6:55 am
to put a cost on that. the health assessment body, nice, says libmeldy is one of the most clinically effective treatments it has ever appraised. only around 7—8 children a year in the uk are likely to be eligible for it, which will limit the financial returns for the manufacturer. here is a disease that has a huge burden not on the child, but also on the family, and also on the nhs, as well. we're now offering a single administration, a once—only administration that could have a potentially curative effect for that child. and so, it's really about valuing that type of medicine, that kind of benefit that it offers. the exact cost to the nhs of libmeldy is undisclosed, because it negotiated a confidential discount. the price has to be compared to years of treatment for patients
6:56 am
terminally ill with mld. several thousand children are born in the uk every year with single—gene disorders. many of the conditions are devastating and life—limiting. but the success of libmeldy is giving hope to other families. i think it will be transformative in genetic diseases. _ many of the kids i transplant have genetic diseases of the blood i or the immune system, _ which means they have a faulty gene. actually, libmeldy shows that we can take their own stem cells, _ put in the gene that their illness is deficient or faulty in, - and correct the condition - following a transplant using these gene—modified stem cells. royal manchester children's hospital is trialling similar treatments for two other rare genetic disorders, with more conditions likely to follow. this is the newborn heel—prick blood test.
6:57 am
its purpose is to screen for nine treatable genetic conditions, including cystic fibrosis. families affected by mld want it added to the nhs screening programme. if we have got there sooner with connie, if we realised there was an issue with connie sooner, then she would still be here with us now. connie, joe's older sister, wasn't diagnosed until she was five — too late for treatment. she died last year, at the age of 13. you really need to be looking at newborn screening. we can test for it, we can treat it. these children just don't need to be dying the most awful, horrific deaths that they're
6:58 am
being subjected to. it's just not it's not fair. for the scott family, screening might have meant their daughter, paige, could have been treated. it would literally save children's lives because, as soon as we know about it, they can receive the treatment. but if it's left too late, we can'tjust rely on an older sibling getting ill first and having to watch them suffer to then save the younger sibling. like, they should all have a chance. doctors say newborn screening would ensure mld is picked up long before permanent damage is done, preventing suffering and saving lives. it is simply not good enough to offer a treatment only. to children who have a family. history and an affected sibling. we must be offering it more widely. we now have the technology to be able to screen for these conditions.
6:59 am
we have the ability to offer potentially curative therapies, and we are letting our children down by not screening for these conditions because those devastating conditions are so preventable if you can identify them at birth, and then offer these kinds of innovative therapies. as forjake and allie shaw, they don't yet know how much time they'll have with nala — whether it's months or years. one thing they're certain of is wanting to ensure other families are spared what they're going through. it's too late for our child, but i would like to think that if another child was born, it could be picked up quick enough for them to be saved. ijust want to get as much awareness out there as possible, and i think the more awareness we have and the more people pushing for it to be put on the blood spot, then it's a good place to start, isn't it? years, we spent not knowing what was wrong with nala — and if there was more awareness

to stop strike action in the nhs. 45,000 junior doctors in england are being balloted over industrial action. that vote closes tomorrow, when a large number of ambulance workers in england and wales will also walk out. vincent mcaviney has the latest. escalating strikes across the nhs. ambulance workers in england, wales and northern ireland are set to go on strike across four days this week, with nurses in england set to walk out for three days the following week. now the bma, the union which represents junior doctors, has warned the prime minister if his government refuses to enter meaningful pay negotiations, they are guaranteeing further industrial action. 45,000 junior doctors have been balloted on strikes, with the results to be announced on monday. at a conference in bristol today, professor philip banfield,
7:03 am
the chair of the bma, will accuse rishi sunak of being thoughtless in his refusal to find a workable agreement with nhs staff over pay and conditions, and that mr sunak and the health secretary, steve barclay, are "standing on the precipice of an historic mistake." despite months of strikes across the nhs and pay rises being offered by the welsh and scottish governments currently under consideration by unions, the prime minister has been steadfast in refusing to budge on entering pay negotiations for staff in england. a spokesperson for the department of health said steve barclay has met with the bma and other medical unions to discuss pay conditions and workload. the department spokesperson also says: ifjunior doctors do vote tojoin other colleagues on the picket lines, ifjunior doctors do vote
7:04 am
tojoin other colleagues on the picket lines, then these strikes, which have already been the biggest in the history of the nhs, could push the health service to the brink if co—ordinated on the same days. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the prime minister rishi sunak has urged world leaders to "double down" on military support for ukraine. speaking at a security conference in munich, mr sunak said it's a "global war" in which the security of every nation is at stake. our correspondentjenny hill is in munich — what have other leaders been saying? good morning. well, the messaging from munich has been pretty unequivocal. vladimir putin must not be allowed to win his war against ukraine, and the world leaders gathered here have said they are pretty much ready to do whatever it takes to continue to support ukraine. we heard from president
7:05 am
macron of france overnight. he interestingly said russia must be defeated but not crushed, brush itself, he said, must not become a target for attacks. —— russia itself. but it is china and its positioning which has really focused minds here in munich. it has refused, so far, to condemn the russian invasion of ukraine. moscow and beijing have also very much strengthened the economic and political ties since the war began. and now the american delegates here, washington says it believes china is considering the supply of weapons for use in ukraine, and us secretary of state antony blinken warned his chinese counterpart against such a move. from the chinese perspective, china has now announced it wants to reveal the details of a peace plan at some point in the coming days. we will watch that with interest. jenny, thank you.

7:43 am
important. but i think what we have to do is also balanced that hope with the reality of the situation and to say that these moments are incredibly important, but they are also rare. i'm anna foster, i may middle east correspondent for the bbc, which means they cover the whole of the region. i am means they cover the whole of the region. iam based in beirut means they cover the whole of the region. i am based in beirut but i go anywhere at any time. lebanon is a beautiful place, but right now it's problems putting some tourists off... there has been a lot happening in lebanon, the country is falling apart, it is in the middle of a huge economic crisis. obviously things in israel and with the palestinians has been really busy as well. there was a period of time in july of last year where we just
7:44 am
travelled constantly for about a month, went to tunisia for the referendum there, covered the us presidentjoe biden's visit to saudi arabia, we were in torquay talking about cross—border aid to syria, i think i'm doing a good job if i'm telling you about as much of the region as possible, because there are so many, the middle east is so important and there is stories going on there. we begin in turkey, because we are getting of dozens people who have died across the country and in northern syria following a major earthquake struck in the early hours of this morning. i’zre earthquake struck in the early hours of this morning.— of this morning. i've heard about the news. _ of this morning. i've heard about the news. so _ of this morning. i've heard about the news. so i — of this morning. i've heard about the news, so i was _ of this morning. i've heard about the news, so i was on _ of this morning. i've heard about the news, so i was on my- of this morning. i've heard about the news, so i was on my way i the news, so i was on my way somewhere else and it was already in istanbul airport, the first thing they checked, actually, was the beirut whatsapp group, the message at the top, the first unread message was my boss, the middle east bureau chief, asking if everybody was ok. as soon as they saw that i just felt
7:45 am
this tightening in my stomach and i went down the messages and it became apparent that it was an earthquake. i was immediately starting to think where to my need to go? how can get there? the problem is there had been bad weather in turkey that weekend and that's why i was stuck in the airport, because they had missed my flight. in many ways i was in a really good place to try and get to where eye needed to be, but also these cancelled flights were a huge problem and everybody else was stopped, everybody else was trying to get on cancelled flights as well, no need to run to get to it. fortunately the flight, i think i got the last seat on that flight and that took me to a dana, the nearest city that had an airport. what i had was a driver, a trusty driver and he was a driver, a trusty driver and he was waiting for me at the airport.
7:46 am
in that situation not everybody does want to go out and work, but he knew he was picking up a bbc correspondent and that we were going to head towards the earthquake. well, the earthquake epicentre. the journey was difficult for a couple of reasons. it was physically difficult because the earthquake had damaged a lot of the roads. under the same time as you had everybody trying to get in, you also had people to leave as well. because of course if you have a car and the ability to you want to get out of that earthquake zone, so a lot of people had loaded up their cars and they were driving in the other direction. so everybody met each other on this mountain road and it just created a huge trafficjam. so we spent maybe three hours longer in
7:47 am

7:49 am
those buildings were all empty. it was just that there were not enough people there to do rescues. and it was only on the second day, as we were moving at the same time as rescue teams, medic�*s, equipment, you know, we could see those big diggers and things being brought in an ijust knew from looking around me that there was nobody else there. there is something about an earthquake that creates a particular level of destruction. after an earthquake everything is just stripped away. there are just these grade piles of concrete and dust and metal and glass —— grey. a lot of the humanity has been stripped away from it. itjust looks like a pile of masonry and rubble. as you moved around from area to area, there was
7:50 am
just more and more and more. and you feel that you've seen the worst of the devastation. but then you may be turned a corner and there's more. you know, you can show pictures of that and they all look the same after a while, they all kind of meld into one. so you have to then use words and descriptions and ways to actually get that across. one thing i was find in stories like this, when there are so many people affected or such a big place affect did, for me it's always about kind of individuals and details. so i think of this one woman who was
7:51 am
waiting for news about her daughter. somebody passed a make up bag out of the ruins of a building that had collapsed, and it was a pink... i can picture it. it was stuffed full of somebody�*s lipstick, mascara, whatever it might be, and they brought it out and this woman took hold of it and she tucked it under her arm. and she was crying, obviously, because this meant that they were getting closer to what she knew was the body of her daughter, because they had said that everybody in the building, that nobody had survived. and they were very clear that they were only looking for bodies to bring back to the relatives. you know, it's like those tiny details are things that you, the same things that you own any same things you have in your life, is that sudden collision of your life and somebody else's and those
7:52 am

ordinary ukrainian citizens into trained soldiers. it's a war taking place almost 2,000 miles from here. but for many ukrainian soldiers it's here in yorkshire where their military training begins. when they arrive their experience is very minimal. a lot of the ones that have come through with me, were either taxi drivers or delivery drivers. now they're at a stage where they're almost fully—fledged infantry soldiers. gunshots. to mark the approaching first anniversary of russia's invasion, members of the media invited to an undisclosed location in yorkshire. a rare chance to see ukrainian troops being trained, notjust by the british army, but by forces from nine other european countries, too. they are really happy. they come shake our hand in the morning. in the evening they give us applause when we say something. so they are really eager, wanting to learn. what would you say morale was like amongst them? the morale is high.
8:16 am
they really want to do this. since the war started, 10,000 troops have been trained in britain. a five—week course in how to use weapons, explosives, and deal with battlefield casualties. this exercise aims to replicate the russian occupation of a typical ukrainian town or village. the soldiers here entering houses to ensure they're clear and they're safe. the ukrainian soldiers being trained here didn't want their faces to be seen, but one soldier with no previous military experience did speak to us through an interpreter. translation: we are very - well-prepared right now thanks to this training and trainers and it will definitely- increase our capabilities and potential and force. j how do you go back to ukraine? do you go back with renewed enthusiasm?
8:17 am
translation: this trainingj will save my life and the life of my friends. you look at the standard they come here and then the standard in the five weeks after they left, it's just night and day. it's absolutely amazing how much our international partners and how much our soldiers at home are supporting them in every way they can. the training is codenamed operation interflex, with soldiers returning to ukraine with all the kit they have been supplied with here. a special partnership united in the face of russian aggression. that was phil mcconnell reporting. we're joined now by saleh saeed, the chief executive of the disasters emergency committee. you are a very busy at the moment with the situation in turkey and syria. £400 million raised in this

it was their biggest test so far and it showed, with england losing four early wickets before a half—century from nat sciver—bru nt. england won by 11 runs — clinching top spot in their group. they only have pakistan left to play in the group stages and importantly will avoid reigning champions australia in the semi—finals if they stay top. there was a minute's applause before kick off between newcastle united and liverpool — in tribute to the former newcastle striker christian atsu, who was amongst those killed in the earthquake in turkey this month. with atsu's picture on the big screen, fans of both sides paid tribute before the game got underway. atsu's family were in the crowd for the game at stjames park with both sets of players paying their respects. as for the game, liverpool were 2—0 winners. cody gakpo with the second afterjust17 minutes as liverpool

boosted their top four hopes. nick pope was sent off for newcastle in the first—half after handling the ball outside of his area, he'll miss next sunday's league cup final against manchester united. arsenal manager mikel arteta says his side "coped emotionally" after beating aston villa 4—2 to go back to the top of the premier league, two points clear of manchester city who were held i—i at nottingham forest. after losing midweek to their title—rivals city, arsenal went behind twice at villa in the first half. tom hanks — there he is — couldn't quite believe ollie watkins made things look that easy after five minutes. but, at 2—2 in injury time, arsenal scored twice to move back to the top of the table, jorginho's strike hitting emi martinez on its way in here. psychologically it was tough, with city and the performance we had and less than three days later to come to this place, which is tough and do
8:40 am
it in the second half with the passion, with the physicality and the quality, the way we have done it, it is a very difficult thing to do. and that win all the more sweet for arsenal — as the champions manchester city dropped points at nottingham forest. city went ahead thanks to a goal from bernardo silva, they had plenty of chances, erling haaland hitting the bar among them. they were still looking good for the win — until chris wood scored forest's equaliser on the break, with less than 10 minutes to go. city losing valuable points in the title race, with arsenal two points ahead of them and with a game in hand. chelsea manager graham potter says he "understands the supporters�* frustrations" after they were booed off in a 1—0 home defeat to bottom—side southampton. james ward—prowse scored the goal — the 17th time he's scored from a direct free kick, just one behind david beckham's premier league record.
8:41 am
chelsea are 10th in the league, having won just two of their last 14 games, adding more pressure on potter. i always come in and speak to you guys, i understand the questions. and i'm not going to — when we have lost 1—0 at home to southampton, with the greatest respect to them, it isn't good enough because of the results we've had recently. absolutely. first off, it's as much my responsibility as anybody�*s, so the performance wasn't good. sean dyche made it back—to—back home wins as everton manager, as his side beat leeds united 1—0 at goodison park. seamus coleman proved to be the unlikely hero, with his second half strike creeping in at the near post. if the premier league title race is twisting and turning, the scottish premiership is showing no signs of that — celtic retain their nine—point lead over rangers, after a 4—0 win over aberdeen. the star of the show
8:42 am
was reo hatate, the japanese midfielder scoring twice as they ran out comfortable winners at celtic park. it's their 15th straight home league win and sets them up perfectly for next weekends league cup final. where they'll meet their old firm rivals rangers, who also ran out easy 3—0 winners at livingstone. james tavernier scoring twice, inluciding this brilliant free kick. second—placed sale sharks were beaten in a thriller by northampton saints in rugby's gallagher premiership. sale had a big lead despite having a man sent off but their lack of numbers eventually told — fraser dingwall scoring the deciding tryjust three minutes from time. 38—34 the final score. the opening weekend continues. hull fc play castleford in rugby league's super league today — their neighbours hull kr ran out 27—18 winners against wigan. australian centre shaun kenny—dowall got his first super league hat—trick, with two of those tries coming after the break as kr got their season off to the perfect start in front of their own fans.

the gymnast max whitlock is back, after taking some time away from the sport following the tokyo olympics. he won gold at the games, but said a "fear of failure" crept in afterwards — leading to his break from international competitions. max has been speaking to tom williams about his return. when expectancy is plunked on top of pressure, that's quite difficult. you know, ijust retained my olympic gold and i should have been over the moon, which i was, of course, with the result, but then all of a sudden things started to creep in. i started to fear failure. failure — not a word often associated with britain's greatest gymnast. being the best for the best part of a decade weighed heavy on his shoulders. when you don't perform, when you do something slightly wrong, and you get a silver rather than gold, to be seen as a failure for that is quite difficult. and i think, you know, a lot of athletes say that you finish the olympics and they kind of feel a low.
8:44 am
i've never experienced that until it got to tokyo. commentator: you could not have performed that routine any better! gold in tokyo, another medal tucked away. max now a three—time olympic champion. he hasn't completed since then — 18 months off to recharge, refresh, regain some perspective. my mindset�*s changed a lot since before tokyo. and as i was competing kind of years and years ago, the mindset i had wasn't sustainable. and that's where it all crumbled and that's where it hit me — i thought "i'm done with this sport." he's now back on the horse with a new routine. three major changes from the last olympics, ready to test it in competition this weekend at the scottish nationals. it feels amazing to be back. really nice to be back in the gym. it's a busy gym today as well. just training with everyone, being in that environment. can an olympic champion be rusty? i'm 30 years old now,
8:45 am
it's kind of creeping up on me. and a year out of sport, yeah, maybe slightly, but i'm kind of getting back in. i surprised myself when i come back in and i could pick up the skills like i did. in terms of paris, what was driving you to do one more? i think for me i had a big feeling of during that time off of, you know, a year and a half pushed, i would regret it if i didn't do it. i think that was a big thing for me. if i didn't try i would massively look back 10—20 years down the line and regret it. it would kill me inside to say i stopped because of fear of failure, of moving forwards. so for me i would rather give it a shot than not. hopefully that mindset can stay all the way to paris. he looks sharp, he is determined. still the man to beat — but no pressure. max has nothing more to prove. tom williams, bbc news. as tom said, he has nothing left to
8:46 am
prove, but still has targets like the great sports men and women do. he has dealt with that fear factor. he has dealt with that fear factor. he said he targets paris next year, should he be there, wanting to win four gold medals. if he does, he would be the first athlete to do that at four successive olympics. you wouldn't bet against him. it is fascinatin: you wouldn't bet against him. it is fascinating that _ you wouldn't bet against him. it 3 fascinating that even people at the top of the game have those wobbles. i was admiring what good shape he was in _ i was admiring what good shape he was in. :, .. i was admiring what good shape he was in. :, ~' i. if you've ever tried ice skating you'll know how nerve—wracking it can be and — once you get the hang of it — how thrilling. that's why more skating groups are trying to make the sport available to everyone, including people with disabilities. sophie madden went to telford, in shropshire, to find out more.
8:47 am
gliding, leaping and twirling. these are some of the uk's best inclusive ice skaters. the team, based at telford ice rink, began with just one skater, and after recent medal—winning successes, they hope to encourage more people with disabilities and additional needs to give ice skating a try. the whole point of inclusive skating is that it's inclusive of everybody. so that's why i put this team together. they make me proud every day. inclusive skating means creating an environment where anybody can get on the ice, and these skaters want to show what it is they can do. cameron sergeant, who was sarah's first student, has autism, anxiety and a learning disability, and is now a senior men's world champion in free skating, free dance, and pairs. he says ice skating means the world to him. well, ijust like the thrill of gliding across an icy surface. it makes me feel free and it doesn't make me feel anxious at all.
8:48 am
his mum, alison, said finding ice skating as a child was life—changing for the 20—year—old. we tried various different things and then literally one day- there was skating on the television in the background. _ we weren't particularly watching it, and he said, "that's _ what i want to do." and i said, goodness, - "how on earth do i do that?" he has always struggled _ with communication, and just having friends, he finds it difficult i to understand that relationship. skating has made a world of difference to that. i vicki smart has optic nerve atrophy, which restricts her peripheral vision, and nystagmus, which affects her depth perception and spatial awareness. she also won medals at the inclusive skating virtual world championships, held in december. i think it's just showing what's possible, attempting new skills, learning something that most people kind of shy away from, and wouldn't dare to try. hopefully these amazing athletes will encourage even more people to get their skates on. sophie martin, bbc news.

8:51 am
it'll be hosted by the actor richard e grant and broadcast on bbc one. our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, has been taking a look at the runners and riders. this german language version of all quiet on the western front contrasts the youthful fervour of a young recruit with the reality of war. it leads with 14 nominations, including best picture and best director for edward berger. does it have a resonance with what we're seeing happening around the world today? i think it does, even though i'd like to hope that the film would have also connected with an audience without it. and of course we never planned to have it be so horribly relevant, because we made the film long before the ukraine war. at the other end of the spectrum with ten nominations, the imaginative fantasy everything everywhere all at once has wowed awards voters. it's up for best film, and it stars michelle yeoh, with ke huy quan also recognised.
8:52 am
ijust don't like you no more. but perhaps the favourite to do best overall tonight is the banshees of inisherin, the story of two feuding friends. it's up for 10 awards, including best film and best british film. you do like me. while its two stars... i don't. ..brendan gleeson and corin farrell are also nominated. cate blanchett has been picking up award after award for her portrayal of an under—pressure conductor in the film tar. many expect her to continue that a winning streak this evening. the biggest film of the last few years, avatar�*s sequel, the way of water, might have been a hit with audiences, but it's only up for two awards, best sound and best effects. the evening will also remember her majesty the queen, had a close association with bafta. the tribute will be led by dame helen mirren, who of course won a bafta and an oscar for playing her in the film, the queen, in 2006,

and who also met her majesty on a number of occasions. in 2013 she received an honorary bafta, recognising her long—standing support for the creative industries. lizo mzimba, bbc news. we're joined now by the film critic emily murray. so, lots to get through. which is the big one to watch tonight? leading the race is all quiet on the western— leading the race is all quiet on the western front that has a whopping 14 nominations. it is one of the most nominated — nominations. it is one of the most nominated. it is a netflix movie and was released under the radar and no one was— was released under the radar and no one was talking about it until it was nominated. it is a harrowing world _ was nominated. it is a harrowing world war— was nominated. it is a harrowing world war one drama and it is a tough _ world war one drama and it is a tough watch. i don't think it will win tough watch. idon't think it will win many— tough watch. i don't think it will win many awards. it is still a bit under— win many awards. it is still a bit under the — win many awards. it is still a bit under the radar. win many awards. it is still a bit
